MAKING AN HERBAL INFUSION

An infusion, or liquid extract, is made much the same way you brew your tea. Making an infusion extracts the aromatic essences or the active ingredients of the herb you are wanting to use medicinally.

Use fresh herbs whenever possible and the purest form of water you can get, such as bottled mineral water. Use a generous teaspoon of finely chopped herbs (gathered from leaves, flowers, seeds or roots, depending on the purpose), to a cup of water, and bring to a boil in a pan. Remove this from the heat and leave it covered for ten to fifteen minutes. Then strain the mixture, and you have an infusion that will last 24 hours in the fridge or up to two weeks frozen.
